Answer:
193.53 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Please see the diagram for understanding of how the angles were derived,
Applying Alternate Angles, ABO =77 degrees
The bearing from B to C is 192=180+12 degrees
Subtracting 12 from 77, we obtain the angle at B as 65 degrees.
We want to determine the boat's distance from its starting point.
In the diagram, this is the line AC.
Applying Law of Cosines:
The distance of the boat from its starting point is 193.53 miles (correct to 2 decimal places).
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I really hope you know how to use your calculator to find regression equations, because in this forum it is impossible to teach you how to do that. I ran the data through my calculator and got the exponential equation as
which means at 4 hours, we started with 1963 bacteria and it is growing at a rate of 114% each hour. Since we started out with an x value of 0, and that value represents the number of bacteria after 4 hours, then time 0 is 4 hours, which means that time 12 is 16 hours. We replace the x in the equation with a 12 and do the math:
which gives us, in the end,
y = 9460
